Inakadate Village is in the center of the Tsugaru Plain, between the Asaseishi River and the Hirakawa River. It has the Tareyanagi Site, where rice paddies from the Yayoi period were found, and it is regarded as the birthplace of rice-farming culture in northern Japan. Its "Tanbo Art," giant pictures made in rice paddies with rice plants of different colors, draws many people every year.
